Liverpool have lost out on one of their major transfer targets after
Shakhtar Donetsk's Henrikh Mkhitaryan agreed a £21.5m move to Borussia
Dortmund.
Manager Brendan Rodgers identified the 24-year-old forward as a top priority.
But the Reds were told on Friday that the Ukrainian side had done a
deal with the Champions League finalists.
Liverpool were happy to meet the asking price for Mkhitaryan but it is
believed they never got the chance to hold talks with the highly rated
Armenian.
Rodgers had hoped to add Mkhitaryan to summer signings Kolo Toure from
Manchester City, Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, Celta Vigo
striker Iago Aspas and Sevilla's Luis Alberto.
